easy Shrimp and Broccoli Fettuccine

 

INGREDIENTS

kosher salt

1 lb. fettuccine

Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

1 head broccoli, cut into florets

2 tbsp. butter

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 c. chicken broth

Freshly ground black pepper

1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 c. tomato sauce

1/2 c. heavy cream

1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley

 

DIRECTIONS

1. Bring an 8-quart stock pot of water to a boil and generously season with salt. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. (Stir frequently as fettuccine tends to stick.) If necessary, stir in a drizzle of olive oil. In the last minute of cooking, add broccoli.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat melt butter and sauté with garlic for 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a simmer; toss in shrimp and sauté until pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a bowl and set aside.
3. Stir in tomato sauce and heavy cream; simmer on low for 5 minutes. Toss in pasta until well combined; add back shrimp and broccoli. Stir until warmed through. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
